Highly recommended - thank you so much!
We cannot thank Suricata Safaris enough. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish.
This was a trip for our honeymoon, we did the 4 day, 3 night camping trip. Suricata collected us from Killimanjaro Airport and took us to our B&B (Jevas Hotel) for a night before we started the safari. After the safari we stayed for one more night at Jevas then Suricata dropped us to the airport.
We had Gordon as our guide for the trip. Gordon was incredible - very knowledgeable (about the animals, landscapes and plants) as well as funny and patient when we wanted to take photos at every opportunity. He was an excellent driver and navigated some tricky / muddy roads with ease. Gordon was constantly looking for the animals and communicating on the radio with other trucks. Every day he made sure all the windows were clean ready for the next days trip, and would always keep us up to date with what to look out for spots and habits. We liked that he was really respectful of the animals.
We saw so many animals on this trip - including Black Rhinos, Hippos, Lions (& cubs), cheetahs, elephants, Ostrich, Zebras, Vultures….
Each night when we arrived at camp the tents were set up, and this includes a net on the door for bugs. Bathrooms were basic but we had hot showers on 2/3 nights which was unexpected. A highlight of the camping was that we went to bed with Zebras grazing next to the tent on the final night - a once in a life time experience.
The food was brilliant - thank you Salem and team!! We weren’t sure what to expect with a trip of this kind and being off the grid at times but we were never disappointed (or hungry). We were treated to a really array each day. Salem thank you for your delicious food!!
We would highly recommend Suricata Safaris and have already passed on their details to family and friends. Excellent value for money.

Best honey moon adventure Safari
We did the tour as our honey moon and really enjoyed it.
Goré the guide comunicated well over the radio, knew all the spots, so he easily found all the wildlife that is around. If asked stopped everywhere and was where kind.
Salim the cook provided us with delisious food.
They really took care of all the details as well: Every morning the windows of the car where already cleaned again. They build up the tents in advance for us, etc.

A memorable safari experience!
We had a blast! The food was great. Breakfast lunch and dinner the chef always prepared a nice meal. Our driver was kind and friendly. He also was the best driver out there. When it poured rain and flooded, our driver never got stuck and went above and beyond to traverse whatever roads that might yield another incredible animal. We saw every animal I could think of and more. Even the elusive rhino. A great value and an awesome team made our trip to Tanzania memorable. Even while traveling here from the U.S, they always remained in communication and made sure we were well recieved on arriving. When I come back, its good to know that I can book Suricatas Safaris

Our tour operator was experienced, knowledgeable, and personable.
This safari was such an incredible experience. Suricata Safaris was an incredible host, from picking us up early at the airport, making incredible meals, and ensuring we had everything we needed. I would 100% do this safari again and recommend anyone to book it through Suricata Safaris!

The most awesome trip of a lifetime
This safari trip far exceeded all our expectations. The accommodations and meals were great. We felt totally safe and taken care of the entire time from tbe airport on. The people of Tanzania everywhere we went including restaurants, markets and all our accommodations were so friendly and kind and helpful and wonderful. The animal and park experiences were magical
Most importantly, our guide, Lewis (Rasta Man ) made our trip awesome. He took us to see so many animals and was so patient and attentive to stop and stay and watch what we were interested. He never rushed us, he catered to our intetests. He shared so much information about the animals, the flora and the local culture that made everything so much more personal. He is a special man and he made our trip awesome, a magical and unforgettable experience.
In addition, our local representative Danielli was also wonderful. He took care of everything for us in Arusha and gave us wonderful personal tours and attention we never expected.
Thanks to this tour and the people working it, we had the most awesome trip of a lifetime.
Organized, efficient, and friendly
A fantastic experience! Our guide Amiri was very knowledgable, kind, and considerate. All of the parks and animals were beautiful and the accommodations surpassed my expectations. Great value, highly recommend.

Excellent Safari Tour Operator
We had an incredible safari experience as well as a honeymoon and a big part of that was thanks to our amazing tour guide, Felix. From the moment we set off, Felix was friendly, knowledgeable, and truly passionate about the wildlife and local culture. He had an incredible eye for spotting animals — even ones that were really well hidden! Thanks to him, we saw everything from lions and elephants to rare birds we would’ve completely missed on our own.
What made the experience even more special was how informative he was. Felix didn’t just point out animals — he shared fascinating facts about their behaviours and habitats, as well as insights into the area’s history and traditions. It gave the whole trip so much more depth and meaning.
We felt safe, well looked after, and completely immersed in the experience. We highly recommend this safari tour.
The service overall was excellent – everyone we met was welcoming and helpful. All the lodges we stayed at were great and the food was also great and tailored to everyone’s pre requested dietary and/or religious restrictions.
We came away with great memories and a much better understanding of the region. Having someone as experienced and enthusiastic as Felix really made the trip something special.
I also want to give a big thank you to Grace who I was in initial contact with prior to our trip and made the booking through. Her communication was great and responded to all my queries with quick responses and gave me a detailed itinerary of what to expect and locations we would be staying which was really helpful.
Word of note. If you’re planning on visiting the Ngorongoro Conservation Area/Crater (which I highly recommend), it can get cold up in the mountain so pack warm clothes.
